Patented May 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE EDWARD F. TANNEWITZ, FDETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASBIGNOB T0 DETROIT CGBD HAND'- FA'CTUBING COMPANY,0F DETROIT, MICHIGAN, .A CORPORATION 0F 'MICHIGAN wmnow Home Applicationmed June 27, 1928. Serial No. 288,550.

My invention relates to window mounting, especially for use inautomobiles, and an object of my improvements is to more completelyadapt-the device shown in the patent @granted to me May 22, 1928, No.1,670,321, to

irregular constructions. I secure this object in the apparatus shown inthe accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a cross-section on the line I-I,

Figure 3.

Figure 2 is a cross-section on the line II-II, Figure 3.

Figure 3 is an elevation, partly in section on the line III-III, ofFigure 2.

l Figure 4 is a perspective view of a portion of the channel strip.

Figure 5 is a perspective View, similar to Figure 4, showing a modifiedconstruction.

2 is the window casing and 3 is a groove,

or channel therein in which the glass travels.

4 is the channel strip having iianges 6-6 extending outward from theweb, which web tits against the bottom of the groove 3, as shown and asshown and described in said 2i patent.

I have found that due to a variety of casual causes the width of thegroove 3, or of the channel strip 4, may vary, which is apt to impairthe closeness and accuracy of the 30 t of the assembled parts, and anobject of my invention is to obviate this diiiiculty. To this end Iform' an auxiiiary thin, Flexible flange, or leaf, 5, that is preferablyintegral with the base of the strip d and extends along and upward,diverging slightly ont y ward from the outer face of one of the anges 6.

If desired, a strip, or leaf, 5, may extend outward upon both sides ofthe channel strip 4 along the outer surfaces of the flanges 6--6, asshown in Figure 5.

In Figure 3 the groove 3-3 is indicated as broadening outward slightlyat 3ft-3a and the channel strip is indicated as of contracted width at4a. In each of these cases the {iexible strip 5 will produce a closefit, as indicated, notwithstanding the variation in width of the grooveor channel strip.

The channel strip is usually made of rubber or felt, as described in myabove named patent.

What I claim is:

1. In combination with a window casing having a sash groove therein, achannel strip fitting into said groove and having a tiexible flangeunited along one edge to the lower portion of thel outer side surface ofsaid strip, extending along and upward and diverffing slightly outwardfrom an outer side surface of said strip, whereby the irregularities inthe width of said oove and strip are compensated for toward the outeredges of said strip.

2. In combination with a window casing having e. sash groove therein,achannel strip fitting int-o said groove and havin a flexible flangeunited along its inner e ge to the lower portion of the outer sidesurface of said strip, extending along and upward and diver ing slightlyoutward from an outer side sur ace of said strip, whereby theirregularities in the width of said groove and strip are compensated fortoward the outer edges of said stri the inner portions of said stripttgiemliliegd sign this specifica- EDWARD F.
